(li) Certificates of Insurance shall be furnished to the City upon execution of
<br />this Agreement and shall be approved by the City.
<br />(iii) Certificates and policies shall state that the policies shall not be canceled
<br />or reduced in coverage or changed in any other material aspect without

<br />If Consultant fails or refuses to produce or maintain the insurance required by this
<br />section or fails or refuses to furnish the City with required proof that insurance has been
<br />procured and is in force and paid for, the City shall have the right, at the City's election,
<br />to forthwith terminate this Agreement. Such termination shall not affect Consultant's
<br />right to be paid for its time and materials expended prior to notification of termination.
<br />Consultant waives the right to receive compensation and agrees to indemnify the City for
<br />any work performed prior to approval of insurance by the City.
<br />6. INDEMNIFICATION
<br />Consultant agrees to and shall indemnify and hold harmless the City, its officers, agents,
<br />employees, consultants, special counsel, and representatives from liability: (1) for personal injury,
<br />damages, just compensation, restitution, judicial or equitable relief arising out of claims for personal
<br />injury, including death, and claims for property damage, which may arise from the direct or indirect
<br />operations of the Consultant or its contractors, subcontractors, agents, employees, or other persons
<br />acting on their behalf which relates to the services described in section 1 of this Agreement; and (2) from
<br />any claim that personal injury, damages, just compensation, restitution, judicial or equitable relief is due
<br />by reason of the terms of or effects arising from this Agreement. This indemnity and hold harmless
<br />agreement applies to all claims for damages, just compensation, restitution, judicial or equitable relief
<br />suffered, or alleged to have been suffered, by reason of the events referred to in this Section or by
<br />reason of the terms of, or effects, arising from this Agreement. The Consultant further agrees to
<br />indemnify, hold harmless, and pay all costs for the defense of the City, including fees and costs for
<br />special counsel to be selected by the City, regarding any action by a third party challenging the validity
<br />of this Agreement, or asserting that personal injury, damages, just compensation, restitution, judicial or
<br />equitable relief due to personal or property rights arises by reason of the terms of, or effects arising from
<br />this Agreement. City may make all reasonable decisions with respect to its representation in any legal
<br />proceeding.
<br />CONFIDENTIALITY
<br />If Consultant receives from the City information which due to the nature of such information is
<br />reasonably understood to be confidential and/or proprietary, Consultant agrees that it shall not use or
<br />disclose such information except in the performance of this Agreement, and further agrees to exercise
<br />the same degree of care it uses to protect its own information of like importance, but in no event less
<br />than reasonable care. "Confidential Information" shall include all nonpublic information. Confidential
<br />information includes not only written information, but also information transferred orally, visually,
<br />electronically, or by other means. Confidential information disclosed to either party by any subsidiary
<br />and/or agent of the other party is covered by this Agreement. The foregoing obligations of non-use and
<br />nondisclosure shall not apply to any information that (a) has been disclosed in publicly available
<br />sources; (b) is, through no fault of the Consultant disclosed in a publicly available source; (c) is in
<br />rightful possession of the Consultant without an obligation of confidentiality; (d) is required to be
<br />disclosed by operation of law; or (e) is independently developed by the Consultant without reference to
<br />information disclosed by the City.
<br />8. CONFLICT OF INTEREST CLAUSE
<br />Consultant covenants that it presently has no interests and shall not have interests, direct or
<br />indirect, which would conflict in any manner with performance of services specified under this
<br />Agreement.
